Top 5 Business Tips

- Formal business attire is recommended. A suit and tie for men and conservative business wear for women is acceptable.

- Use honorific or professional titles along with last names to address individuals. Wait until invited before moving onto a first-name basis.

- A firm handshake upon meeting is the norm. Be aware when exchanging business cards that the manner in which you treat it is a sign of the value you place upon the relationship.

- Business meetings are often pleasant, and as Bahamians value harmonious personal relationships, pressure tactics or vociferous disagreement should be avoided to prevent discomfort.

- Arrive on time for meetings, although this may not always be the case with your Bahamian colleagues. Meeting schedules aren’t strictly followed and serve as more of a guideline.
